We have the same problem here in INDIANA every time BYU plays Notre Dame. It always happens to be the same time as our stake conference...for years they had the Priesthood/leadership session in the am to avoid the afternoon game...until one hear a general authority was here and said "no way!" It was never a choice that was…

We usually hook up as friends and support each other through the feeds...I hope you are doing well on your journey! I look forward to getting to know you!

That is fantastic! what is your strategy? What is your plan of attack for the next few weeks? I have been losing since November and you are right, some weeks are slower, but as I keep at it, at least I am losing a little every week. I have lost 50 lbs since I started and 41 since I started MFP. Keep it up and there are a…

I totally agree, unless this is something new for you or something that only occurs on occasion, It is kind of like breathing around here...normal part of everyday life, so I wouldn't log it if that were the case for you!

a couple of things that have helped me to lose weight more consistently is to exercise to lose weight, not to eat more. I have always had a problem with programs that give you points or exercise calories to eat because I don't thing we should exercise to eat rather to lose. I never eat the extra calories unless it is a…

I plan before...I make sure I take plenty of things I can eat and enjoy...lots of salads. I try to rmember I am there to socialize and have some spiritual nourishment...I am NOT there for the food. Food will always be around if I get a craving for something later, I will make it and have a small portion....At a potluck are…

A friend of mine gave a really good idea. she packs the snacks in their emergency backpacks at conference time and each conference she lets them eat the snacks and replaces them...that way they never go bad and the kids have something to look forward to! This year one of my daughters is doing a Knowledge goal for Personal…

great LINK...the article helps!

Exercise for me is sacred! HA! I usually get the kids to bed and run with a friend...we usually run 3-4 miles and guess what has come of it...Angie is going to church with me. She is seriously interested because she has felt so accepted and comfortable around the members! I am so excited...so yes I will definitely keep…

we have been kind of quiet lately in this group...how are things going? Welcome everyone. What is new in your lives and what are you all interested in talking about?

cm is great bc it gives you more exact measurements...I mean you can see change easier! Belly Button is a great place...always consistent that way!

Welcome Liz...nice that our group is International!

We don't mind fasting, we just usually forget! We are so forgetful that it is usually late Saturday night and we are having a late snack when we remember, or when I am getting out the stuff for breakfast the next day...or when the bishop announces that it testimony meeting...any ideas on how to remember sooner? I know I…

I love the clarity there! Thanks for your pondering and for sharing it with us! Love ya Brook!

I am so thankful today for sunshine...we have had about a week of 50 degree weather with sunshine in INDIANA...Makes me so happy to get out and walk instead of doing treadmill!!!!

A couple of the things I do are the following. My family eats pretty healthy bc a few years ago my young daughters were diagnosed with very rare high cholesterol (they are thin and fit so it made no sense) but since then we eat whole grains and pastas, baked or broiled lean meats and losts of fresh fruits and veggies. I…

As we work diligently, obey the commandments, and pray, we can accomplish our righteous…

I love to jump around in the scriptures, but with the kids we read straight through so they get a sense of accomplishment. TO be able to say "I finished this" is great for them, but for me I am all into the topical study too...I LOVE reading the New Testament. I do activity days and I am called as a SUnday School teacher,…
